SARS-CoV-2 RNA can be detected in exhaled aerosol

In a study published in the open-access journal Influenza and other Respiratory Viruses, researchers investigated if severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) can be detected in exhaled aerosol samples obtained from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients during many different types of breathing and coughing. They also analyzed how SARS-CoV-2 infection may affect the size and number of exhaled aerosol particles.
